Thanks! I didn't know about countlines(). Interestingly, countlines() does
not seem to include blank lines. That's not a problem for me, but it's good
to be aware of:
--------------------------
$ cat > foo.txt
Hello
world.
$ cat > bar.txt
Hello
World.
$ julia
...
julia> run(`wc -l foo.txt`)
2 foo.txt
julia> run(`wc -l bar.txt`)
4 bar.txt
julia> countlines("foo.txt")
2
julia> countlines("bar.txt")
2
--------------------------
Thanks again.
Daniel.
